THE oNWARD MARCH OF MEMPHIS.
A number of spcciallprojects were gotten
up to build up the city prior TO 1913, but
without success. Then calne the navy
yard proposition. IL came more us u
sense Of duty from the congressman TO do
something for his constituents than rs a
necessity 10 preserve the government in
tact. Although regarded at irt az II
Joke, the navy yard was finished about
1915, and Commodore Shields and Lava
lctte were the successive commandments.
The only piece Of work worthy the nane
turned out was the celebrated war steam
ship Allegheny, which was entirely built
and equipped here, with the exception OF
the hull. A humorously inclined
historian, recording her remarkable feat
lucs, puts it tliusly: "IIcr speed is said to
have been four miles per hour down
stream, that being the ordinary rpidity Of
the current, and four hours 10 the mile
up stream" After Il brief history, marked
only by unsgtisinction, she Wusroudcmncd,
